About this Event
The Crossroads Summer Camp is designed for young mathematicians who want to dive deeper into the world of competitive math. Whether you're preparing for MATHCOUNTS, AMC 8, or just love solving hard problems, our camp provides the tools and community you need. Led by the CrossroadsMathematics Committee, students will explore topics in Number Theory, Algebra, Geometry, and Combinatorics through interactive lessons, team challenges, and daily mock rounds. No prior competition experience is required—just a passion for learning!
